And if anyone is curious about getting into the hobby, I just picked up my first drone for quite cheap.

The DJI Mini 2 SE is $339 at most stores.

The DJI Mini 3 is also pretty reasonable at $419

Got a used one for $200. Many people just have it collect dust at home :)

As someone who is not familiar with drones, it's this a good bang for they buck deal?

For the tech you are getting yes. Phantom 4 was $1700 3 years ago. You get more tech in a very tiny package and especially at toy class which is under 250 grams. This it 249 so you can fly nearly everywhere as long as you don't bug people with it.

I was, thanks.
